Idris Elba terror plot film “Bastille Day” pulled from French cinemas

The action film “Bastille Day” starring Idris Elba has been withdrawn from French cinemas following the Nice truck attack that killed 84 people and wounded over 200.

The movie, which also stars “Game of Thrones” actor Richard Madden, centers around an effort to thwart a terrorist plot to bomb Paris.

StudioCanal spokesman Antoine Banet-Rivet says Saturday that “the film has been withdrawn from cinemas out of respect for the victims and their families.”

He said the film had been playing at 230 movie theaters across France. It came out Wednesday, the day before a truck driver mowed down revelers watching Bastille Day fireworks on the Nice waterfront.
